On December 23rd 2011, ITV1's Daybreak broadcast live from our neonatal unit as part of their feature on frontline services at Christmas. Dr Hilary Jones spoke to many of our wonderful clinical staff and parents about the work of the neonatal unit and First Touch. It was incredibly moving to see the excellent work of our neonatal team acknowledged and praised, particularly at such a special time of year.

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all those who were instrumental in setting this up - you know who you are! We would also like to thank all those families who allowed their babies to be filmed and to those who spoke so highly of our fantastic team. Finally, we would like to thank those staff members who managed to speak so eloquently in front of the film crew!
